Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1553 - 1552: Just Getting Even_1

"What do you mean by ’framing the Yu Family’? I was just joking," Bei Yun hurriedly explained. "Miss Qiao, please don’t misunderstand me. In Capital City, under the emperor’s nose, especially since I’ve had my internal powers sealed by my aunt, how could I frame anyone? I was just joking with the Yu Family."

"Is that your idea of a joke?" Qiao Xiaomai’s expression grew even colder.

"Who forced poison on me first? I’m someone with a very vindictive nature, and just as I smashed Jiufeng to pieces, I thought I might as well drag the Yu Family out for a walk, just to give you all a bit of trouble," Bei Yun said as he returned to his smiling demeanor.

Such a serious matter seemed as trivial as deciding what to eat today when spoken from his lips.

What if Qiao Xiaomai and the Yu Family didn’t share a deeper connection.

What if Yu Ang hadn’t tasted Jiufeng in the early days of the twelfth lunar month.

Then his framing today would have been real.

Then the Yu Residence would have been doomed!

A random act of venting, a mere word could ruin a great family, and the fact that this person didn’t take it seriously at all... This person really was...

A disaster, a great disaster.

Qiao Xiaomai gritted her teeth, "It seems you’re still a malevolent ghost, lingering among the living."

Upon hearing this, Bei Yun stared at the teacup in his hand, his lips curving into a faint smile, "Mountains and rivers may change, but nature is hard to alter. I lived too stifled before, so now I take revenge on the spot. Since you were the ones who just tried to poison me, it’s only right that I give you a bit of trouble."

"As for the Yu Family, they were completely dragged into this by you. Had you not tried to force me with poison, I wouldn’t have even thought of going to their place."

"If the Yu Family has anyone to blame, it should be you," Bei Yun continued.

Qiao Xiaomai "..."

Bei Lingsu "..."

With such irrational arguments, so shamelessly distorting right and wrong, this man really deserved a beating!

Bei Lingsu gritted her teeth and said, "Since you’ve come to rely on me, why didn’t you take the initiative to tell me about the collusion between the Wu family and the Tianlong Gang? This is a matter of great importance. If you didn’t tell me, then I had no choice but to resort to extreme measures to force you."

"Do you think I wanted to use poison to pressure you?!"

"Have all my days of earnestly teaching you gone to waste?! Do you have no idea of the attitude I’ve shown you these days?! Do you not know if I’ve been treating you like a criminal or like a family member?!"

"I’ve treated you as family. How did you repay me? Such an important issue, a matter of life and death, and you kept silent? Why did you keep silent? If you really came to seek refuge with me, why wouldn’t you speak?"

"Is this the attitude you show when seeking refuge?"

"Bei Yun, you tell me, is this how you seek refuge with me? Are you still harbouring thoughts of some conspiracy?"

"Have you come to seek refuge with me or are you using me as a pretext for some treacherous scheme?"

"If it were anyone else who had done what you’ve done, do you think they could still stand here? With all you’ve done, if I hadn’t covered for you, do you think you could still stand here unharmed?"

"Don’t think I’m coveting your two major breakthroughs. I want to know, but no breakthrough is big enough to make me go against my conscience and treat you as family. The reason I’ve tolerated you is that I consider you family!"

"I treat you as family because our ancestor Bei Fan felt guilt towards your branch of the family! It’s because I, Bei Lingsu, also feel guilt towards your branch! Seeing you like this, I’m heartbroken for you!"

"I, Bei Lingsu, am not scheming for anything from you. I sincerely treat you as family!"
